Why do you think these health care insurance premiums are so high? Nobody is willingly to admit that their lawsuit insurance coverage is so high and they, of course passed to patients.

Sure, can lawsuit but the truth behind lawsuits is that NO one wins, everyone loses, period.

That is VERY true. Everything gets passed down to the consumer. The hospital still needs to own up to it regardless.

(AP) -- A Johns Hopkins Hospital gynecologist accused of secretly videotaping patients wore a pen around his neck that may have been used to conceal a camera, according to the employee who reported the doctor.

The employee told hospital officials of her suspicions Feb. 4, according to a letter from the hospital's CEO, Dr. Paul B. Rothman. The letter was dated Tuesday and sent to the law firm of Silverman Thompson Slutkin & White, which is working with the Maryland Crime Victims' Resource Center. The law firm gave a copy of the letter to The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The employee's report to officials ultimately led to the discovery that Dr. Nikita Levy had been recording patients during exams at a Hopkins clinic. Police have said Levy, 54, killed himself in his home on Feb. 18.

Rothman's letter said the Hopkins employee had noticed what she believed to be a device, like a writing pen, that Levy had worn around his neck while examining patients. She said she believed the device was a camera.

Rothman writes that Hopkins security personnel questioned Levy at his office on Feb. 5, and devices similar to the one described by the employee were seen in the office and on Levy.

Levy was barred from patient contact that day and escorted off hospital grounds. Hopkins notified Baltimore police the day after, and investigators have said they found large amounts of multimedia evidence.

Police have said more than 2,000 patients and former patients of Levy have called a hotline set up by the hospital. Class-action lawsuits have been filed against Hopkins.

Meanwhile, investigators are trying to determine if anyone else was involved in making the records, and whether any have been posted on the Internet or sold.

Excuse me... I didn't finally "get" anything. We will just have to disagree on the tax money being a factor in hospitals. Yes, I'm fully aware of their tax-exempt status. I just don't think we agree on how the funds are applied.

No, I'm saying that you got it about insurance premium will goes up because of stupid doctors and diehardbiker makes a strong point about cost of insurance premium - pass on the consumers.

This hospital case is pathetic.

I do for this very reason...although I'm sure there are wonderful men doctors that will now be treated with suspicion thanks to this man....
 
I do also have a female obgyn...feel so much more comfortable with it and can discuss any problems or questions at ease....

I asked that to a woman doctor...it's about a love of "science" which frankly, is what the human body is. How it works, the way it heals, what it's capable of, is a miracle of science.
 
How much vagina is enough? He must have been a very sick obsessed man taking his job home with him like that.

All I keep thinking about... is the fact that there is likely a "leaky pus" fetish site floating around somewhere.

Gives me the willies...and gonna be looking for anything that could be recorded next time I see my gynecologist....

Always had the impression that gynecologists, after a number of years...have seen so many women patients, (and their muffs and breasts) that they become so bored with it...and wondering if this doctor if he was selling the pixs, even posting them on porn sites??....Or just filming them for his own preverse pleasures?....

*fingers crossed my muff doesn't appear on any porn sites*....:roll:
